I really liked how the portrait of the woman in the middle picture turned out. I've also been experimenting working over ball point pen in Sharpie for some bold brush like strokes. Soon: Colors!

Job Fair
Today I ventured out into the world on my bicycle to go to a job fair for some jobs at DIA. To help protect my resume, and as general good practice, I brought along my sketchbook. While waiting for a preliminary interview, I had a fair amount of time to draw some of my fellow job hunters.
During my interview, I brought up that I was a recent grad of Rmcad and my enthusiasm for drawing and painting. I offered to show her my sketchbook and she was delighted to look through it. It was a great ice breaker and confidence boost for the rest of the interview.
So, here's to hoping art helped me get a full time job that pays me more than the lowest amount legally allowed. Cheers!

Life Drawings (Part One)
I've been going to free life drawing sessions at Rmcad the past few Thursdays with my fellow Illustrator Andy Musser. Here are a few choice cuts from last week's session:
I hadn't done too much life drawing with pencil since we always had to use vine charcoal in class, but I ended up really enjoying it. I was inspired to try it out by Andrew Wyeth's pencil preliminary studies for his portrait paintings after looking at his autobiography. I'll post some more life drawings soon from this week's session where we had to improvise after our model didn't show.
